Intersecting Pathways: Modern Jewish Theologians in Conversation with Christianity

Krell, Marc A.

Description

Marc A. Krell analyzes the theologies of four twentieth century Jewish thinkers — Hans Joachim Schoeps, Franz Rosenzweig, Richard Rubenstein, and Irving Greenberg — who have constructed theologies based on their interaction with Christian thought and culture. Their work reflects a common attempt to understand the impact of Christian culture on the historical events prior to and following the Holocaust, and to reevaluate the relationship between the two religions in light of a history of theological anti-Judaism and modern, racial antisemitism.
